Got a huge reverb? Want one? We unpack a massive space with a Frankenstein build

Welcome to the show! In some circles, huge modulated and pitch-shifted reverbs are the norm. But for the rest of us, reverb has typically been that knob on your amp that you rotate until you can just about hear it.
It’s time to reconsider: what exactly is going on in all that expansive ambience? Thusly, we tiptoe through the aural flora of three such space generators before embarking on a Heath-Robinson-meets-Frankenstein approach to recreating it using five delays, EQ, pitch shifting, chorus and, well, some other stuff.

A quick note to say everything today is dual mono: no stereo and no wet-dry. Both amps are running all the time and receiving both wet and dry signals from the mixer when the relevant controls are turned up.

Enjoy the show!
